Electrooptic Effect of Nematic Liquid Crystals

摘要

One of the nematic liquid crystals operating at room temperature, N-(p-methoxybenzylidene)-p-n-butylaniline, was synthesized and its electrooptic effect was measured and discussed.It was concluded that mechanism of the electrooptic effect can be explained by two modes, i.e. a static mode at low electric field and a dynamic scattering mode at high electric field.
